We appreciate the enormous support that our ABestWeb community has experienced over the many years it has served its members and sponsors. We have decided to exit this business and have placed the property up for sale and we are actively entertaining interest.

In the meantime, community members will be able to read but not post to ABestWeb beginning on Jan. 18.

We want to thank you for your numerous contributions and your ongoing support. If you have any questions, please let us know.

I've tried to email allposters directly to try and get some questions answered, but it appears they are either not getting them or simply ignoring them. My hunch is that they are just ignoring them as phone calls are no better. Back when we had a dedicated affiliate manager, things were great. They actually worked with us to improve sales, etc. Now they are just awful. I'm almost at the point where I'm just going to drop them. I was just wondering if anyone has any different email addresses to try and actually reach someone. David, feel free to move this thread if it's in the wrong area. As a sub-affiliate with tanking sales, I thought this might be an appropriate place to ask.
Thanks

Spencer,

Ever since art.com and allposters merged, I've been having the same problem with art.com. Out of 3 emails, I've gotten one response in the last week.

It appears as if art.com and allposters has one affiliate manager at this time to handle everyone. Sales have been really bad for the last month and a half, and I'm at a loss as to what to do. Traffic has been as good or even better for the same time period, but sales are coming in at a rate that would indicate the current traffic I'm sending them was only 30 percent of what it really is.

Very discouraging. I'm beginning to think something is going on, but for the life of me I can't figure out what it is. At any rate I'm going to have to start promoting other products if I want to continue to work from home in the near future.

I'm just about ready to pull the plug on allposters. I just can't imagine how they can go months on end without fixing their datafeed problems. We can't sell or update when we can't download the feed. David's script is great, but many of us like to update our sites more frequently and don't want to wait four months or longer between updates. I've asked allposters why they can't just change their datafeeds over to the art.com version. I don't have any problem accessing those feeds and actually like the category structure better. The only thing I might miss from allposters is the t-shirts, but as of now, that's one of the feeds that I have been able to download. My sales are at all-time lows, albeit, most of my fault for not updating, but am now ready to update everything. I'm gonna be setting up an affiliate program shortly for celebrity photos, so if you're interested, just pm and I'll send you details.

I called and used the "dial by name" option to leave a message for Kim DiGiulio at art.com, informing her of this discussion thread, and I also emailed affiliates@allposters.com -- hopefully someone at the company will respond here promptly.

As an affiliate, I've only had positive experiences with the "new" art.com/allposters.com, and I've received at least one affiliate payment (by check) from them in the past few months (My residual affiliate sites generate very few sales for them, so I only get a few small checks each year.)

So, what about my request to resend two checks may and jule?
306344 Withdrawal for Payment 9/1/2006 ($635.20) Commission earned in July
299931 Withdrawal for Payment 7/1/2006 ($655.11) Commission earned in May

I am working with our financial department to determine what happened with these checks. If we determine they were not cashed, we will reissue them to you. I will follow up with you when I have more information.

Anyone with suggestions on using the MASSIVE allposters image information feed. I have to find and replace about 1MM website ids and I can't find a program that will do that without killing my computer. They wont add the ID for you. I just want to integrate all of the products onto my site but it seems impossible and definitely not scalable.

Nemo - Sean and others have repeatedly informed you that AllPosters does not follow the forums on ABestWeb, and they have given you other ways to contact the company.

In fact, the last two times you got a response, it was probably because other ABW members (including me) sent emails to Sean at AllPosters, informing him that once again, you'd chosen not to actually contact AllPosters, but instead you'd posted multiple negative comments in multiple ABW discussion threads again.

Nevertheless, you keep posting here, pretending that you believe that people from AllPosters read this discussion thread. Apparently you'd rather criticize the company than get your issues resolved.
